Cricket Tasmania is proud to announce that Tasmanian, Sam Nogajski has been selected as one of two on-field umpires for the BBL|13 Final between the Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat at the SCG tonight.
As one of the most consistent umpires throughout the season, Nogajski has umpired the majority of the Hobart Hurricanes' games in Tasmania, along with the 'Qualifier' and the 'Challenger' at Carrara Stadium in Queensland over the past week.
Last season, Nogajski also won the prestigious 'CA Umpire Award' as the all-round most outstanding umpire across all of Australia due to his on-field achievement, and the work he has done mentoring other, up and coming umpires.
Cricket Tasmania's High-Performance General Manager, Saliann Beams, spoke about her pride in seeing Nogajski announced as the umpire for the BBL|13 Final.
"It fills me with great pride to see Tasmanians from within our High-Performance programs be selected for higher honours, on a national stage.
"Sam has been one of the best umpires in the country, and Cricket Tasmania has enjoyed watching his journey from Cricket Tasmania Premier League umpire through to becoming a key member of the Cricket Australia International Umpires Panel."
Cricket Tasmania congratulates Sam on this appointment, and is proud to see Tasmanians succeed nationally.
